Parson Larkin and the devil tale in verse dialogue
A humorous vignette recounts Parson Larkin of the Methodist Church and neighbor Joe Finks in a dialogue about catching the devil, using a fractured speech pattern and comic misfires. It is followed by satirical house rules for a boarding house and a scene aboard the steamer New World with a foppish passenger and a rough drover, ending with a mock advertisement for the New York Tribune.
